THE NEW YORKER Parliament, which alone can do any- thing, can raise faith equal to that which England has just put in its new King, who can do nothing, England is ap- proaching one of those good times long since due her. The other three-quar- ters of this troubled globe wish her well. S INCE the eve of the Coronation, London's best celebrations have been nocturnal. Once the lights go on, the city turns out. Coronation Wednesday has flowed into Whit- sunday in a continuous, fantastic flood- lit rout for the polloi, and Palace balls, costume fetes, and state dinners on precious plate for the grandees. By the special traffic signs, one can tell what's going on, whether one is invited or not. The sign at Hyde Park Corner the night of Buckingham Palace's royal party read, "The Coronation Court Ball. Keep straight on." Piccadilly is nightly barricaded to everything except pedestrians by wooden doors and the street-traffic sign "The Coronation. No entry. Floodlighting." Everything pub- lic or private with half a claim to munic- ipal beauty is floodlit till midnight. The Toyver of London, illuminated for the first time in history, is a superb sight dead knights would die again to see. West- minster Abbey, the Admiralty, the Horse Guards, St. Paul's, \V ren's churches, the flowers in St. James's Park-all are illuminated each night, and are nightly circled by shuffiing, unweary- ing feet. Traffic is shunted so that you are bound to drive to floodlighting though you may have wanted to drive darkly among Hyde Park's empty tents and trees. At each traffic vor- tex, a police-car loudspeaker declaims, "Pedestrians! Do not pass before moving vehicles. The traffic will short- ly be held up for you." No car honks. The packed streets are quiet except for the sound of tongues and feet, or shouts emerging from pubs open by special r : ' : I "'I .......i ' \ } -----...... .. ., .- \- ...........
